Which option is best??
I mainly use my car for, please don't flame me for this, street racing...with occasional but very limited track visits (maybe 1 per year, since closest track is in another state)
My main desire is to hook up during launch on the street. I have formulated two options that you can see in my poll which I think will help my launch quite a bit.
Option #1 costs roughly $935 Pros: More traction, nicer look Cons: Price, Rain/Wet performance
Option #2 costs roughly $550 Pro: Price, wet perf. Cons: Traction issue?
With 340whp would option #2 be enough for a good launch or will I have to go with option #1

Well you said you want to be able to hook up good... #2 would get the job done... BUT if you really want to hook up and have the $$ for #1... it's a no brainer.
PS - Street racing is definitely not good, but I won't flame you... I own a Corvette and a fellow owner over on our forums just posted this cool video. Not exactly "racing" but oh my god, these guys are fast, check it out.

Also, with a 10.5 rim the highest BFG KDW II tire size I can put on is 295, which is a little small for that wide of a rim. And I could buy two sets of Nitto Drag Radials (30K miles) for a little more than the price of 2 BFG KDW II tires, the only problem being wet weather handling
